“Her heart was too big to let people treat her like that. Treat her like she was less than the wonderful, beautiful, kind woman she was.”

No cheating. No angst. No love triangle. No drama. And this is a M. Mabie book!!! Did I enter a twilight zone? LOL. Well, one thing is for certain she definitely shocked me. YES Mo, I am shocked. Not in that hair-pulling and me yelling at her WHY!!! But in the way that she completely caught me off guard that she can write a LOVE STORY that is sweet, sexy and low on drama. Yes, M. Mabie you kept to your promise that you will deliver a story that will make me swoon. And Roots and Wings stole my heart!

Who knew small town romance could be so sexy? Finally, a romance that doesn’t have a billionaire, a domineering alpha male, rock star, or athletes. But instead M. Mabie treated her readers to a REAL ROMANCE that is full of charm, sass, heart, and of course steam with good old fashioned characters that are flawed, realistic and relatable to readers.

“And, there in that garage, he’d done just that. I felt, more than anything, that he desired me. All of me. And I wanted more of it.”

Roots And Wings will set hearts fluttering as M. Mabie introduces readers to Mutt and Vaughn. Yes, I know what are you thinking. Who names a heroine Mutt? Right! I know it is strange but don’t worry M. Mabie has a perfectly good reason as to why she is called that and why the importance of her name plays a vital role into the story line.

“I wanted her to trust what I said. I wanted my words and actions to have more value than my touch. My kiss.”

Since I don’t want to spoil the story of Vaughn and Mutt, I will just say you will never think of small town romance as just a plain old Jane. This book is extraordinary in every sense. And you will definitely appreciate the beauty of real honest love and the importance of a name. What makes this book is so special and charming is that we are transported to a small town of Wynne, population 3,401 and are allowed to be welcomed with good old fashioned charm of simplistic living. No city girl. No broken hero. But instead you are given a glimpse of a couple who instantly had a connection. Yes, that spark where readers can feel the trickling of raw emotions, laughter, and love radiate throughout the book.

“I wanted to know everything she liked. I’d commit to memory every sound with every spot and, one day soon, I’d play her body like a guitar. Repeating my favorite chords over and over.”

So if you are ready to fall in love with a story that weaves modern small town romance with charm, laughter, and steam then look no further than Roots And Wings. This book definitely was your FEEL GOOD BOOK with the added bonus of sexy. All there is left to say, Mo you have set sailed a story that anchored me to the ground and created a romance built on the wings of love.

“She filled my arms and my heart and all my fantasies. She’d wake up in my bed in the morning, the sheets still smelling like us. And I’d make love to her all over again. I didn’t need sweet dreams with a reality like that.”

So after I took the plunge with Stacy Keswick’s debut book, Wet, I was ready for more. I had to know what awaits for West Montgomery and Sadie Mullins. And in true Stacy Kestwick fashion, she once again splashes her readers with a fun, sexy, steamy, and angsty filled romance that will have readers “soaked.” Soaked with frustration, soaked with sexual tension, and most importantly soaked with love.

“I let go of the last of my lingering misgivings. Let go of the past and wrapped my arms around him and embraced the future.”

“Sadie, you’re not listening to me. You’ve blinded me to everyone else. I’m yours. Only yours. For as long as you’ll have me.”

Soaked was a sexy, emotional angst filled romance that flowed at an excellent pace. Ms. Kestwick will have readers drowning with need as the Sadie and West “undefined relationship” is on a slippery course. Are they a couple? Did West choose Aubrey over Sadie? Can Sadie get over her insecurities? These questions will have readers begging Stacy for the answers. Fret not because Stacy has perfectly splashed her readers with the right amount of angst, drama, steam, and romance to keep her readers entertained. Trust me, Stacy Kestwick will have readers swimming with bliss and drowning with love.

The Morietti family is back again and this time, Vincent Morietti is ready to get cuffed to the woman who owns his heart. Vincent and Jill Henley are NYPD partners. They have this relationship that can be somewhat described as laid back, friendly, and of course filled with so much sexual tension. From the outsider’s perspective, it is so obvious that these two are deeply and sexually attracted to one another. Even the Morietti family already knew that. But for some reason, Jill and Vincent have these blinders on. They both like and care for each other deeply but they never crossed that friendship line. That is until, three months later when Jill returns from Florida and has a big announcement to make. She is engaged.

Shocked, stunned and in disbelief, Vincent doesn’t know what to make of this big news. And it took, Jill getting engaged for Vincent to finally act on his feelings. And as for Jill, she knew when she was back in New York that she made a hasty decision in getting engaged to a man so fast. As these two detective work on solving an unsolved case, will they find themselves solving their own personal feelings for one another?

Cuff Me by Lauren Layne was irresistibly sweet, sexy, lovable and entertaining!!!!! I found myself falling in love with the Morietti family once again as they try to push and urge these two friends/partners that they belong together. This book definitely had this big sexual tension vibe and it makes you want to sit Jill and Vincent down and knock some sense into them. HAHA. But of course Lauren Layne was able to work her romantic magic as she finally made them see what has been standing in front of them. So if you are looking for love story that was fun, sexy and steamy then I highly recommend you to check out Cuff Me.

“Like a voyeur, I’m entranced watching the way he savors my body. The way his tongue lights the fuse within me over and over and over again. The way he watches me watching him with those wolfish eyes, reading me like an erotic novel.”

Speechless. That is the first word that comes to mind after reading my first B.L. Berry book. I don’t even know where to begin my review as I try to process what I just read. B.L. Berry really took her readers on an emotional roller-coaster as she assaulted you with a magnitude of raw emotions in An Unforgivable Love Story.

“Life’s no fun if you’re able to predict what’s coming next. And you … I’ve never met a woman like you before. And there’s nothing that could have prepared me for your arrival.”

“Even though we only met yesterday, it feels like our souls met decades ago. He’s comfortable like your favorite sweatshirt on a snowy day. I want to wrap myself up in him like a blanket and feel his skilled touch all over my body.”

This book was broken up into three parts. And each part ended with a gut wrenching, shocking, and twisted ending. When you thought you had this big story figured out, B.L. Berry practically throws you under the bus as you are once again doused with new shocking information that will have you going crazy with all the emotions coursing through you. I know I am being vague in my review because to truly understand the depth of this book, you have to read it, experience it, and feel it. Be prepare to fall hard, have your heart ripped out, and also be prepared as B.L. Berry pieces it back together. The pieces may not be perfect but she puts it together some way with her gorgeous prose.

“And when your fingertips trace down my body, I know that you are writing our love story on my skin, branding me as yours. And that’s the thing about love stories … the best ones go on to live forever. And with the way you love me, it’s as if you are claiming me for all eternity.”

But what I can tell you is this book will make you really think about LOVE. That simple four letter word. It is simple to spell but so hard to define. LOVE. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is truth. Sometimes it prevails and sometimes it hurts. Love can be cruel. Love can be devastating. And love can also be unforgivable. And so if you are ready to get swept away with love and what it entails, then I urge you to read An Unforgivable Love Story as B.L. Berry showcases that there are two sides to every story and then some.

Katie Ashley drops a sexy, fun, smart, and sassy romantic comedy!!!! Ms. Ashley will have readers rolling in laughter as we tag along Olivia Sullivan as she tries to remove the cobwebs of her lady bits with the help of a drop dead gorgeous investigator who is quite the catch.

photo 63c11645c02eaa2e7bd1753d9948b3_zpsgzememla.gif

“As he slid the condom down his impressive length, I couldn’t help licking my lips. He was like the Goldilocks of Cocks…not too skinny, not to wide, not too short, and not too long. He was just right.”

Olivia Sullivan sees dead people. Well she doesn’t see dead people roaming around the halls talking to her, but she definitely does see dead people. Literally. Olivia Sullivan is the beloved daughter of a mortician. And as most people aspire to become doctors, lawyers and what not, Olivia took it upon herself to carry on the family business as a mortician. And as you can imagine, what men would want to date a mortician knowing that there are dead people in the house. So Olivia’s love life is practically DEAD as she has no luck in the relationship department. Case in point her last sexual relationship was deadly.

So when Olivia decided to dust off the cobwebs, she meets Holden Caulfield Mains. Yes, if you are familiar with famous American literature then you probably would recognized the name Holden Caulfield. And so you would understand as to why Olivia had to give Holden the moniker Catcher. Well after two shots of tequila, Olivia was ready for whatever Catcher had in store and that included five orgasms.

“There’s not just a spark between us. There’s a full-on raging inferno.”

Well the one night of hot sexual bliss was not enough for Holden as he finagles his way to be part of an investigative death case that Olivia is working on. As these two try to solve the murder investigation, Olivia and Catcher finds themselves tangled up in the sheets with plenty of orgasms. As their sexual tryst continues, will they be able to solve the case before it becomes deadly? And will this blooming love affair with Catcher be the fairy-tale romance that Olivia has been searching for?

“And my vagina? That greedy little bitch had found the best piece in the candy store and definitely wanted another lick, suck, and swallow.”

All there is left to say if you are looking for a fun, entertaining, sexy romance that weaves humor, plenty of orgasms, mystery and a chock full of sass then I would suggest you give Drop Dead Sexy a try.

✦★✦★✦5-BIG O STARS✦★✦★✦
*Copy provided by an author in exchange for an honest review*

I freaking loved this book; it was outrageously hilarious! While growing up, there’s so much exposure and built up about how special it should be to lose your virginity. For others it’s just wham bam, thank you, ma’am, I’m done. If you enjoy comedy, romance, between a quirky virgin and a hot sweet police officer, I suggest you hop on The Big O train. Get ready to have your bed rattled and your lady bits soaked –winks-.

Olivia made me giggle like a dork to no end because she’s naïve in her own way. Since her sinkhole have never been fluffed and tickled with a real hard and huge twinkie, she comes off as a young adult who’s begging for experience in the O department. Oren just made me blush like a teenager all over again. He packed up his things and left his old town and wanted a fresh start, away from the family drama.

And as for Olivia’s best friend Scout, she had me falling off my seat with her sarcastic self. She’s loud and crazy, but will do anything for her friend. Which I can’t wait to get to know on the second book.

I highly recommend THE BIG O to all the readers who is in desperate need of experiencing their cherries popped. Wink*

“Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the virgin diaries starring Olivia Olander who’s currently O-less and in desperate search for The Big O.”

Dear H.J. Bellus,

I so fucking LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this book!!!! Okay, let me reiterate it once more time. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! That’s right, I LOVED THe BIG O and of course, what woman wouldn’t. (*wink*) Right off the opening pages, I knew I couldn’t put this book down. How could I when you are introduced to Olivia Olander who lives in Ontario, Oregon and who is O-less. Yes, that’s right Olivia is a single 24 year old virgin who never had a boyfriend and oh yeah never had THE BIG O.

So as you can imagine Olivia Olander is ready to pop her cherry. She is ready to say goodbye to her pesky virginity and also finally experience that screaming orgasm that every romance novels talks about. As much as Olivia is ready to say adios to her virginity, her best friend urges her to take the first step. Experience an orgasm. Well operation orgasm doesn’t go according to plan when she almost electrocuted herself with Tony the Tiger vibrator in the bathtub while holding her cell phone. But don’t worry Olivia always lands on her feet and doesn’t let this setback hinder her when she meets a hot cop with a big stick, who enjoys how sweet, innocent and quirky Olivia is. And hot cop finds it absolutely charming that she is still a virgin and is not scared at all. And did I mention Officer Oren O’Brien loves giving O’s.

“Let’s-be-honest, and set the stage of my real life situation. I’m twenty-four, a first grade teacher, have a Yorkie named Pedro, a goldfish named Fish, have never had sex, or a serious boyfriend, and I’m the town lesbian who pukes when she sees a pussy. Nothing really to be jealous of at all. ”

Oren and Olivia are hands down one of my favorite couples. Seriously, these two were fucking fantastic. It is never a dull moment with these two. And when you add in Olivia’s nip slip, her adventures with watching porn, and of course nothing says LOVE when your boyfriend thinks your fart is adorable. These are a few lovable and embarrassing moments that makes The Big O a riot of fun and entertaining. And to top it off, H.J. Bellus delivers a love story that will make your hearts melt and swoon.

“I’m not covered in pasta, sauce, and/ or (in my damn case) humiliation… rather bathed in Oren O’Brien, who seems desperately and hopelessly in love with my awkward Asian, Yorkie-loving, and extremely cursed ass. ”

What else can I say but I LOVE this book HARD. It was refreshing, fun, sexy, humorous, entertaining, and outrageously lovable. And of course, you gotta LOVE Olivia Olander from Ontario, Oregon who finally got to experience THE BIG O!!!!! Can we get a HALLELUJAH!!!!

“I openly call Oren boyfriend. It’s like I leaped out of the closet. I’m not ashamed or insecure of who I am anymore. Oren’s brought out the inner girl in me. We are three weeks into the best summer ever.”

So if you are looking for a lighthearted romantic comedy that weaves layers of charm, family, friendship, a horny Yorkie, Mr. Lady Boner cop, and a 24 year old virgin who finally gets The BIG O then I highly recommend you to read this book. All there is left to say, thank you HJ Bellus for another amazing story that is filled with toe-curling kisses, tender moments, and of course that infamous letter O.

Love,
M (fan of The Big O) xo

“ I’d spent my whole life trying to impress people. Maybe that was the start of my fall, the last two decades one plush float into the depths of shallow, insecure, hell. All I know is that when I hit the bottom, I hit hard.”

If you were to ask me who are my favorite authors then I would have gladly told you that Alessandra Torre is definitely in my top five. Alessandra has always been my go to author as she never fails to deliver stories that makes your hearts race, flutter and swoon. And in her newest release, Love, Chloe, Alessandra once again proves to her readers that not only can she grab our attention with her hot stilettos but she can leave her literary mark as douses us with charm, laughter, sass, and one palpable love story.

Love, Chloe was breathtakingly beautiful, stunning, smart, and insanely entertaining!!! This book was a breath of fresh air. It was light, fresh, modern, and had that Alessandra Torre signature of sexy. Yes, Love, Chloe was ridiculously S-E-X-Y in that fun, flirty, and sassy way that only Alessandra can deliver.

“There was a time in my life when I found FBI agents sexy. Let me assure you, they aren’t.”

As a bonafide city girl, I love that Alessandra took readers on one entertaining adventure as we navigate the concrete jungle of NYC as the heroine, Chloe Madison discovers that not even this season Louboutins can make you feel any better when you find yourself pinching pennies to have a roof over your head. And it definitely does not help that you have to take a job working for a second rate version of the Devil Wears Prada or in this case Devil has Chanel.

“The man had no fear, no hesitation, and I dug my hands in his hair as I tried to stay in control, tried to stay coherent. The sensation …it was building, spreading outward from his mouth, every muscle tensing, my body clenching in preparation for what was coming, and he groaned my name in worship and in that sound, raw and primal…in the clench of his hands on my skin…in the wet, perfect flick of his tongue…in the dark look of ownership and confidence in his eyes…in the buildup, a hundred pieces of arousal climbing together…I lost words, I lost thought, I lost every single piece of myself.”

Chloe Madison went from New York socialite to homeless in a blink of an eye when she discovers that her family is B-A-N-K-R-U-P-T. With very little money and lack of job skills, Chloe finds herself doing what any reasonable adult must do. She gets a job. With the help of her mother’s acquaintance, Chloe gets a job as a personal assistant/dog sitter. What goes up must always come down couldn’t be any truer as Chloe finds herself trading in her designer clothing of Jimmy Choo, Louboutins, Chanel, and Givenchy for everyday wear. But don’t fret, Chloe Madison always lands on her feet and she does it was class, style, and sophistication.

“ Instantly, I could taste his need, his want. It was in every stroke of his tongue, the growl in his throat, his hot hands rough on my skin.”

Love, Chloe is definitely a story of self discovery and finding that strength to carry on. On this road to self discovery, Chloe discovers on what it means to be a friend and learning to accept things as they are. For Chloe Madison, her journey may have been filled with small minor bumps but she took it with stride as she learned on what really matters in life. And along the way, Chloe Madison was able to discover the biggest revelation of all. L-O-V-E.

“ Because of this—if what Carter and I had was stronger, then that meant the fall would be harder. And right now, I felt so brittle. So exposed. So afraid.”

I absolutely loved and adored Love, Chloe. I LOVED everything about this book from Alessandra’s wicked sense of humor, sass, charm, and of course, we cannot forget her added touch of glam and high fashion. Everything about this book was stunning. Right off the opening pages and till the very last page, Alessandra had me smitten with Chloe Madison and her dramatic flare of adventure and self discovery in the concrete jungle.

“I can’t live without this woman. She is my best friend. She is the second half of my heart. She is the blood that pumps through my veins. She is my everything. She is my future. She is my Chloe. She is my Love.”

Alessandra Torre did an amazing job with this story. She brought a fresh modern spin on the beloved Sex in the City as she treated her readers to an honest, beautiful, and heart-tugging tale of friendship, self-discovery and love. So if you are looking for a book that weaves and sprinkles romance, fashion, friendship, sex, and that happily ever after then I would highly recommend you to read Love, Chloe.
